Biodegradable nanoparticles-mediated targeted drug delivery achieves trans-spatial immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Immunotherapy has been seriously retarded due to inadequate antigen presentation and a tumor cell-dominated immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME). Herein, biodegradable multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles, with dispersed carbon nanodots incorporated into the frameworks, active TKD peptide modification on the surfaces and hydrophobic drug loading in the pores, were prepared for targeted chemotherapy synergized with trans-spatial immunotherapy. The nanoparticles were biodegradable due to nanodot-induced framework swelling, which would (1) kill the in situ tumor cells and promote antigen release by targeted chemotherapy and (2) trigger biodegraded debris involving TKD and CDs to largely adsorb the tumor antigens via π-π conjugation synergized hydrophobic interactions and then m
